How much does the Victor Taichung Vturn-V560 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Victor Taichung Vturn-V560 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Victor Taichung Vturn-V560 is a compact vertical turning lathe with a 12 in chuck on an A2-8 spindle nose and a top speed of 2,500 rpm. Victor Taichung says it designed the machine to meet higher roundness requirements for auto parts, and the vertical layout is the means: the part sits flat on the chuck, so gravity seats it and does not pull it off centre.
Unusually, the C Axis machine is the larger of the two in diameter. The 2 Axis column lists Ø560 mm (Ø22.04 in) maximum and Ø470 mm (Ø18.5 in) standard turning diameter; the C Axis column lists Ø610 mm (Ø24.01 in) and Ø520 mm (Ø20.47 in). Turning length goes the other way, 532 mm (20.94 in) against 470 mm (18.50 in). The turrets differ too: 8 tools on □32 mm shanks for 2 Axis, 12 tools on □25 mm shanks for C Axis.
Both weigh 6,100 kg (13,448.18 lb). The maker stresses the small floor requirement for cell layouts and ergonomic loading for the operator. Discs, hubs, brake parts and rings load easily from the front, and chips fall away from the work into an integral disposal system.
The option list shows how far the frame can be stretched: bigger chucks at reduced speeds, a bigger spindle motor, a VDI turret and a higher column with 100mm more room.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Vertical layout gives high roundness and surface finish without gravity effect, per the maker
- C Axis machine turns up to Ø610 mm (Ø24.01 in) with 12 tools
- Compact floor requirement for cell layouts
- 12 in chuck on an A2-8 nose at up to 2,500 rpm
- Integral chip disposal with a rear chip conveyor and cart
Limitations
- The 2 Axis turret holds only 8 tools

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The 2 Axis machine turns Ø560 mm (Ø22.04 in) at most over 532 mm (20.94 in) of length. The C Axis machine turns Ø610 mm (Ø24.01 in) over 470 mm (18.50 in). Swing over the carriage is Ø540 mm (Ø21.25 in) for both.
02
8 tools on □32 mm shanks in the 2 Axis column and 12 tools on □25 mm shanks in the C Axis column. A VDI turret is on the option list for this model.
03
Victor Taichung points to roundness and surface finish without gravity effect on the turning process, easy loading and unloading, and a compact floor requirement. Heavy disc-shaped parts rest on the chuck face while they are clamped.
04
6,100 kg (13,448.18 lb) in both the 2 Axis and C Axis columns. It is the lightest of the three Vturn-V vertical lathes by a wide margin.
